Aliens Got Spunk

.

It's the 30th anniversary of one of the greatest action movies ever made, James Cameron's Aliens. Back on April 26th, on the newly commissioned "Alien Day," I watched a screening here in New York with Sigourney Weaver herself -- read my write-up here if you missed it. Anyway I kind of feel as if we already celebrated this anniversary with that, but we can hardly let it go unremarked upon, it being one of our very favorite movies, so let's talk about all the hot marines in it because duh.

I'm sure I'm projecting but I always get a gay vibe from this moment in the film as the marines wake up from cryo -- Private Spunkmeyer (yes the furry dude's name is SPUNKMEYER) is totally checking out Private Frost as he walks by, right? Anyway they're my pretend gay couple in the film.

But speaking specifically of Private Frost (played by Rico Ross) he's clearly one of the hottest second-tier Marines, alongside my second-choice Lieutenant Gorman (played by William Hope), so I must ask...

"Loved Vice, Mary Poppins Returns. Admired Ben is Back for it's two lead performances although second half is kind of preposterous, they carry it off. Loved On The Basis of Sex. The audience I saw it with cheered. Kidman is pretty amazing in Destroyer but movie is definitely not for everyone. Admired Boy Erased and glad someone made this film for all those unfortunate people who might be in similar situations. Adore Lucas Hedges, but now he needs to do a comedy. Was impatient with Beautiful Boy. Impatient with If Beale St Could Talk and found it a bit self indulgent."
